Runaways

Blonde hair blowing in the summer wind
 A blue eyed girl playing in the sand
 I've been on a trail for a little while
 But that was the night that she broke down and held my hand
 Teenage rush, she said, ain't we all just runaways
 We got time
 But that ain't much 

We can't wait till tomorrow
 You gotta know that this is real baby
 Why you wanna fight it 
It's the one thing you can choose Oh! 

We got engaged on a friday night 
I swore on the head of our unborn child
 That I could take care of the three of us 
But I've got the tendency to slip when the nights get wild 
It's in my blood
 She said she might just runaway somewhere else 
Someplace good

 We can't wait till tomorrow
 You gotta know that this is real baby
 Why you wanna fight it
 It's the one thing you can choose 

Let's take a chance baby we can't lose
 Ain’t we all just runaways 
I knew it when i met you 
I'm not gonna let you
 Runaway
 I knew it when I had you 
I wasn't letting go

 We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
 Hold each other till the morning light 
We used to laugh now we only fight 
Baby are you lonesome now

? And then I come home after they go to sleep Like a stumbling ghost, I'll haunt these halls
 There's a picture of us on our wedding day
 I recognize the girl but I can't settle in these walls

 We can't wait till tomorrow 
Now we're caught up in the appeal baby why you wanna hide it 
It's the last thing on my mind 
I turn the engine over and my body just comes alive 

Ain’t we all just runaways 
I knew it when I met you 
I'm not gonna let you 
Runaway 
I knew it when I had you
 I wasn't letting go
